Barks' Christmas stories

[Elaine Ramshaw]

I'm trying to compile for myself a complete list of Barks' Christmas
stories. I'll list in this message the ones I have identified, and if anyone
is so moved, they can check to see whether I'm missing anything. Thanks! I
don't have the complete set of WDCS 10-pagers, so I'm particularly curious
about 232 "Under the Polar Ice" and 244 "Missile Fizzle," since those were
December (cover date January) stories I haven't seen. Does either of those
mention Christmas? (Incidentally, I'm aware that Rosa included 196 "Statues
of Limitations" in his composite Barks-Christmas-in-the-50's pin-up, and it
was a December story and does have a Shacktownesque feel to it, but I left
it off because it doesn't say it's set at Christmas--though Donald does use
"plastic Christmas tree frost" to make his sponge statue look snowy.) I'm
only including stories written as well as drawn by Barks. (But I'm curious:
do any of the JW stories mention Christmas?)
